RICHARD F. BARRY, OF NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS.

MACHINE FOR SETTING LACING STUDS OR HOOKS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 504,295, dated August29, 1893.

Application filed March 30, 1 89 3.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, RICHARD FREDERICK BARRY, of Newton Highlands, in thecounty of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Machines for Setting Lacing Studs orHooks, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a machine for setting eyelet devices, such aslacing studs or hooks for shoes.

The object of the invention is to provide a hand stamping pressconstructed to accommodate interchangeable bed-plates and dies, wherebythe machine may be used for punching out holes to receive the eyeletsand converted into a machine for setting either studs or hooks.

To this end the invention consists in certain novel features ofconstruction and combinations of parts which will be fully describedhereinafter, and pointed out in the claim.

Referring to the accompanying drawings which illustrate a constructionby which the invention may be carried out, Figure 1 shows a sideelevation of the stamping press. Fig. 2 shows a front elevation. Fig. 3shows a section on line 33 of Fig. 2, illustrating the operation of themachine when adapted for attaching lacing hooks; Fig. 4 a similarsection illustrating the adaptation of the machine for attaching lacingstuds; Fig. 5 a sectional view illustrating the machine adapted forpunching holes to receive the eyelets. Figs. 6 and 7 show details ofdifferent forms of bed-plates.

The reference letter, a, designates a frame, which is formed with ahorizontal bed, a, having a recess, a opening out of its top and rearsides. The frame has ahead, 9, standing over the said bed, and providedwith a bore, 1), in which fits a plunger, 12*, and a retracting spring,19 around said plunger. The plunger is actuated by means of a cam lever,c, pivoted to the head, I), and engaging the top of the plunger. Theplunger, 12 has ascrew threaded socket, d, which is adapted to receiveinterchangeable dies, one of which, (1, is a circular punch for cuttingholes in the Serial No. 468,320. (No model.)

leather, w, or other material, as illustrated in Fig. 5, another, (1 adie for upsetting lacing studs, as, (i see Fig. 4, Whose eyelet portionsare closed, and another, cl, a die for upsetting lacing hooks as, 01whose eyelets are open through, see Fig. 3. The die, d has a slightblunt projection, (1 at the center to engage the eyelet of the stud,while the die, d", has a pointed spur, 01 to pierce the hook.

The bed, a, is adapted to receive inter changeable bed-plates tocorrespond with the dies. When the punch, d, is used, a soft metalbed-plate, e, having a block, 6, is fastened on the bed, a, and theblock fills the recess, a and constitutes a bed to receive th impact ofthe punch.

When the die, (1 is in use, a plate, 6 is fastened on the bed, a, andprojects over the recess, a This plate serves as a holder for a stud as,di'and the recess, a affords space in which to receive the hook portionof said stud. The hook of the stud having a thick shank, a notch, c f,of considerable depth is made in the plate, 6 to receive the shank ofthe hook and allow the eyelet portion of the stud to take position underthe die. When the die, (1 is in use, asinnilar plate, a is fastened onthe bed, a, but this plate has not so deep a notch, e, as the plate, 6for the reason that a lacing hook, as, d is thinner than a lacing stud.In this case as before the recess, a affords aspace for the reception ofthe hook.

The plate, 6 is provided with a hole, .9 to allow the passage of thespur, (1

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

A stamping press, comprising in its construction, a frame having a bedwitharecess open at one side, interchangeable bed-plates for attachmenton said bed,one of said plates having a block which fills the recess,and another adapted to project over the said recess when applied on thebed, and constituting a holder for alacing stud or hook, aplunger, and

interchangeable dies for attachment to said.

In testimony whereof I have signed my C. F. BROWN, name to thisspecification, in the presence of F. PARKER DAVIS.
